So we can all agree that calling ranges vs. an UTG raise should be even tighter than the open.
But what if the UTG player plays a range where the lowest pocket pair they open with is 88?
Why wouldn't it make sense to make my calling range polar and call with low suited connectors/small pairs that don't touch the UTG range? (So that I can have more post flop maneuverability if a low flop that hits my range comes)
Say he's really tight and raises only with broadways from UTG, does it not then make even more sense to call with smaller holdings and at least wait for the flop? (but also 3 bet with broadways where I have blockers like I normally would).
Is it because the flop will hit a high card often enough to make it unprofitable to call with a range like that? Is that still applicable vs a super tight UTG player who opens only TT+ And KQs+ / AKo?
